PROMIS ROUTINELY GENERATES A NUMBER OF REPORTS CONTAINING DESCRIPTIVE DATA ABOUT CASES. THE GENERALIZED INQUIRY PACKAGE SUPPLEMENTS THE SYSTEM BY ENABLING THE PROSECUTOR TO RECEIVE DESCRIPTIVE DATA IN RESPONSE TO A WIDE VARIETY OF UNANTICIPATED, NONROUTINE QUERIES. USERS MAY MAKE SPECIFIC QUERIES IN PLAIN ENGLISH. EXAMPLES OF SEVERAL TYPES OF POSSIBLE INQUIRIES ARE INCLUDED. PROSECUTORS INITIATE INQUIRIES USING A FORM WHICH IS REPRODUCED IN THE DOCUMENT. ITEMS WHICH MUST BE INCLUDED ARE: DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST; SPECIFIC TIME PERIOD, IF ANY; TYPE OF CASE; WHETHER A SUMMARY REPORT (ONE LINE OF DATA FOR EACH CASE) OR A DETAILED REPORT (ONE PAGE OF DATA FOR EACH CASE) IS DESIRED; ORDER IN WHICH DATA IS TO BE PRESENTED; AND ANY OTHER LIMITATIONS OR EXTRA INFORMATION WHICH WOULD SERVE TO NARROW THE SCOPE OF THE INQUIRY. SAMPLE INQUIRY REPORTS IN BOTH THE SUMMARY AND DETAIL FORMAT ARE PRESENTED. SUMMARY REPORTS GIVE, FOR EACH CASE, VARIOUS IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS, DEFENDANT'S NAME, CHARGE, AND ANY EXTRA INFORMATION REQUESTED BY THE USER. DETAILED REPORTS GIVE ALL OF THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF INFORMATION: DEFENDANT INFORMATION, OFFENSE INFORMATION, ARREST INFORMATION, MOST RECENT CONTINUANCES, CHARGES AND DISPOSITIONS, AND WITNESS INFORMATION.
